On the night of 14 April 1912, the seemingly unsinkable ship RMS Titanic hit an iceberg and nose-dived to the bottom of the North Atlantic. Over 1,500 people died that night. But who were they? Bringing together over 2,000 passengers and crew from every class and five continents, Titanic Lives tells their stories, re-creating the complexities, disparities and tensions of life 100 years ago.

An astonishing work, of meticulous research, which allows us to know, in painful detail, the men and women on that fateful voyage' - Julian Fellowes
